DAX: Calculate MAX value of an aggregated column

Hi, 

I have a table that gathers daily values. I have extracted a table for the single users and created a summary table that gathers different information at the user level. 

 

For each user, I now need to calculate the maximum value of their monthly consumption. Example:

 

Alienvolm_0-1634073628121.png  

Alienvolm_1-1634073657335.png

Minute consumption is a measure (SUM of the daily entries for consumption). I need to calculate the maximum value by row (max monthly consumption by user). 

 

In my resulting table, my Max Monthly Consumption is a calculated column. 

 

How can I do that? 

 

Thanks!

OK. I've tested the following:

Max by User Display name =
CALCULATE (
    MAXX (
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            SUMMARIZE ( 'Teams PSTN Records', 'Teams PSTN Records' [User Display name], 'Dates [Month-Year] ),
            "_Total", [Minute consumption]
        ),
        [_Total]
    ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Teams PSTN Records', 'Teams PSTN Records' [User Display name] )
)

@Alienvolm this is what you need

 

Max Consumption = 
MAXX ( 
    ALLSELECTED ( 'Table'[User Display Name] ), 
    [Your Consumption Measure]
)

@Alienvolm create a measure:

 

Max Consumption = 
SUMX ( VALUES ( Table[User] ), CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table[Monthly Consumption] ) ) )

Hi @parry2k,

 

Thanks for the suggestion... So... I applied your code as below: 

 

 

Max consumption = 
    SUMX(
        VALUES(
            Users[User Display name]), 
            CALCULATE(
                MAX('Teams PSTN Records'[Duration (m)])
            )
    )

However, that still gives me the MAX duration in that period (day with max duration), not for the sum of that period (mm-yy):

Alienvolm_0-1634137778026.png

In this case, I want to know the MAX for the values in each row. For example:

Alienvolm_1-1634137979678.png

The Max consumption for Wilfried was 574 (value of July). 

Thanks for the prompt though! Trying to figure it out...

Try:

Max value = MAXX(ALLEXCEPT(Table, Table [User Display name]), [Minute Consumption])

@parry2k Sorry for the confusion... 

 

@PaulDBrown That doesn't work either... it gives me some other aggregation:

Alienvolm_0-1634139519622.png

Code:

Max consumption = 
MAXX(
    ALLEXCEPT(
        Dates, 
        Dates[Month-Year]
        ), 
    [Minute consumption]
)

Thanks all the same!

Apologies. The original response referenced the month field in ALLEXCEPT, when it should be the User Display name as in the edited post. So...

 

Max value = MAXX(ALLEXCEPT(Table, Table [User Display name]), [Minute Consumption])

I still get the same result... I think I'm missing the aggregation/summarization for the month. somehow...

 

Alienvolm_1-1634141013200.png

 

Code: 

Max consumption = 
MAXX(
    ALLEXCEPT(
        'Teams PSTN Records',
        'Teams PSTN Records'[User Display Name]
    ),
        [Minute consumption]
)

 

OK. I've tested the following:

Max by User Display name =
CALCULATE (
    MAXX (
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            SUMMARIZE ( 'Teams PSTN Records', 'Teams PSTN Records' [User Display name], 'Dates [Month-Year] ),
            "_Total", [Minute consumption]
        ),
        [_Total]
    ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Teams PSTN Records', 'Teams PSTN Records' [User Display name] )
)
